Joining and Borrowing
If you are a member of any Public Library in South Australia, then you already have membership to Gawler Libraries through the One Card Network. You must have your membership card to be able to borrow items.
Joining
Simply fill in an application form and produce valid identification which has your name, current address and signature on it (e.g. driver's licence). If you are under the age of 18, your application form needs to be signed and submitted by a parent or guardian.
If you have signed up online, you will need to visit the Library and show valid ID with your current name, address and birthdate, to receive a Library card before you are able to borrow physical items.
Borrowing
Once you have signed up you will be issued with a Gawler Libraries membership card, which you can use to borrow items, access eBooks and other online resources, as well as the public computers and free Wi-Fi. If you do not have your library card with you, we will accept valid ID with your name, address and signature. Library membership is renewed every three years, so we will regularly ask you to update your information.
Your free library membership will give you access to a range of digital library products which you can find out more about here: www.libraries.sa.gov.au/digital
